Clint, Sorry for the delayed reply, but I was away from my computers for several days. On 6 July 2005 at 11:24, Clint Harshaw wrote: | Hi Dirk and Douglas: | | I am a user of Debian and R.

This mirror is maintained by Christian Steigies to whom I forward this. I only use testing/unstable myself and cannot help you with this. But for broader exposure, I'll CC the r-sig-debian list where someone may have the pertinent pointer.
